Lively Eurostars workshop at the University of Copenhagen

36 people including SME representatives and speakers had a valuable meeting with EU funding experts when Copenhagen EU Office, Biopeople and Cluster Excellence Denmark in collaboration with the Ministry of Higher Education and Science co-organized a Eurostars-workshop on 25 November 2015 at the University of Copenhagen.

The attendees got valuable input on the Eurostars Programme, presented by Jens Peter Vittrup from the Innovation Fund.

Rasmus Mørk from Copenhagen EU office introduced the services of Copenvirk and presented the Horizon 2020 SME instrument. Kristoffer Riis from Vækshuset in the Capital Region introduced Enterprize Europe and it’s partner search tool, and Kim Kryger from the Ministry of Higher Education and Science introduced the EUcentre. The programme also comprised presentations from two companies that had applied for funding. CSO Wian de Jongh from Expres2ion Technologies shared his experience with the Eurostars programme and Mogens Pedersen, Genomic Expression shared his experience with the SME tool.

The very active and interested audience had several questions to the speakers who at the end of the day also offered 1 to 1 meetings with the participants.

Deadline for the next application in the Eurostars programme is 18 February 2016. The SME instrument closes the calls four times a year.
